THE  FARM  AND  HOME  WEEK. 


To  the  Citizens  of  Kansas: 

To  win  the  war  is  our  supreme  object.  To  produce,  abundantly,  to 
conserve  carefully,  to  utilize  wisely  in  the  broadest  sense  are  our  methods. 
Our  soldiers  must  be  fed  and  equipped,  likewise  our  allies  and  ourselves. 
Can  there  be  greater  privilege  than  the  opportunity  to  help? 

If  Farm  and  Home  Week  will  give  encouragement  for  our  work  if  it 
will  make  possible  greater  results  from  our  efforts,  if  it  will  give  inspira- 
tion for  our  task,  it  will  achieve  its  purpose. 

You  are  welcome  at  your  institution,  the  Agricultural  College.  Come 
often.  Use  it.  Its  ambition,  now  and  always,  is  to  serve 

The  associations  that  meet  at  the  College  during  the  week  are  cordially 
welcome.  The  afternoon  programs  and  some  of  the  mornings’  work  are 
under  their  direction.  Farm  bureau  officers,  institute  officers,  members 
Grange  and  the  Farmers’  Union  are  especially  invited  to  be  present 
and  to  attend  the  special  conferences  arranged  for  them. 

There  are  no  fees  for  the  week,  and  the  cost  to  each  one  will  be  only 
his  traveling  and  living  expenses,  all  of  which  are  small.  Board  and 
rooms  may  be  found  through  the  assistance  of  the  Y.  M C A Meals 
also  may  be  had  in  the  cafeteria  at  the  College.  On  arriving  in  Man- 
hattan it  is  best  to  go  directly  to  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  building,  located  on  the 

TT  *tf  Eleventh  and  Fremont  streets,  for  room  assignments.  You 
should  then  come  to  the  College  to  register. 

Men  and  boys  register  in  room  34,  Main  Building,  and  women  and 

girls  in  room  35  of  the  same  building.  Every  one  should  register  and 
receive  a program.  s 

Please  read  the  program  carefully  so  that  you  will  know  exactly  what 
to  do  every  day  In  this  way  no  time  will  be  lost.  If  you  select  the  work 
which  you  prefer  and  follow  it  throughout  the  week,  you  will  be  well 
satisfied  with  results.  Every  class  and  every  session  will  bejn  on

THE  FARM  AND  HOME  WEEK 


PROGRAMS. 

The  programs  for  the  Farm  and  Home  Week  are  arranged  in  groups, 
as  follows:  Agriculture,  Rural  Organization,  Home  Economics,  Engi- 
neering, Boys’  and  Girls’  Special,  State  Associations,  Potato  Growers’ 
Conference,  and  Farm  Bureau  Conference. 

All  numbers  in  each  group  are  arranged  by  days.  The  agricultural 
programs  are  so  planned  that  each  one  may  get  all  numbers  in  two  differ- 
ent subjects,  such  as  agronomy  and  dairying,  poultry  and  animal  hus- 
bandry, etc.  Each  one  will  be  much  more  satisfied  with  the  week’s  work 
if  he  pursues  only  two  subjects.  The  general  assemblies  in  the  audi- 
torium at  eleven  o’clock  in  the  morning  and  the  evening  programs  are 
for  all  men  and  women,  boys  and  girls.  In  the  afternoons  programs  are 
conducted  by  the  associations  which  are  special  guests  during  the  week, 
and  each  one  should  attend  what  he  prefers.  The  whole  program  should 
be  read  with  care  when  received. 

The  letter  preceding  subjects  indicate  the  following:  (A),  Agronomy 
(crops  and  soils);  (D),  Dairying;  (L),  Live  Stock  (beef  cattle,  horses, 
hogs,  and  sheep);  (H),  Horticulture;  (P),  Poultry;  (V),  Veterinary 
Science  (diseases  of  animals)  ; (R),  Rural  Organization. 

All  musical  numbers  are  furnished  by  the  Department  of  Music  of  the

The  Young-  Men’s  Christian  Association  cooperates  with  the  Agricul- 
tural College  in  welcoming  the  men  and  boys  who  come.  Its  doors  are

rooms  prepared.  Even  those  who  do  not  have  rooms  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
will  find  it  convenient  as  a place  to  meet  friends  and  to  rest  during  the 
noon  hour.  Every  one  is  welcome.
